SOME POINTERS FOR PROHIBs.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Judge Nc
Allister this afternoon decided that
the city ordinance prohibiting the sale
of liquor to minors was void. A few
days ago Oscar Matthias, who keeps a
concert saloon, was arrested for selling
to Lille st. Clair, a l6-year-Old girl,
who was abducted by q young man
whom she had met In a concert saloon.
Matthias applied for a release under
the habeas corpus act. The judge held
that the portion of the ordinance
| which revOkes saioonkeeper's license
on the second OffenSe Is unconstitu-
tiOnal. Among the grounds for this
opinion are that the general incorpora-
ton act does give a city council
power to levy fines not to exceed $500,
and to imprison an offender not to ex-
coed six months. Forfeitures OF license
is neither fine or imprisonment. Again
the dram shop act provides punish
ment to saloonkeepers selling to minors,
except in cases where the minor brings a
written request from the parent. The
ordinance Furnishes the seller or give:
away of drink regardless of such re-
quest, thereby cOntravening the
statute. Matthias was discharged, and
the decision gives great joy to the
Saloonkeepers.
| THE LAW STANDS GOOD.
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 19.-The supreme

not already taken such action. st.
Louis will also vote on the question.
